Was it like the painting an old lady did to "fix" a priceless portrait of Jesus in the museum? She tried to make it better and painted over it...it was awful. But funny at the same time. It was on the news a few mos ago.

Send her a mirror along with your next piece of art.

NEVER, and I mean NEVER do art of a lover in today's modern day and age. People just don't appreciate art like they used to when society was actually cultured. That or else you painted her in the style of late Monet or Dali...in which case: you deserved it.

Sorry OP, but if it sucked, it sucked. Of course she should appreciate the effort, but she's not inconsiderate just for trying to figure out what you painted.

she's probably amazed by such painting that she doubts that its her

She could have stated her opinion more... erm, politely. My boyfriend showed off a painting that he'd done that he was super proud of, and I hated it, but I didn't say "what is that disgusting garbage?" I just told him it wasn't to my taste.

Leo. . . Is that you?! *gasps*

That's unfortunate that she doesn't appreciate your work. But remember if your relationship ever comes to an end, I'm sure your next girlfriend will love the gesture. Be strong.

I actually did the same thing for a then-boyfriend years ago. I painted a portrait of him. You know what he did? His face contorted when he saw it, and he then proceeded to stuff it right under a pile of heavy textbooks right in front of me, and then pretty much acted like it didn't exist. I should have dumped his ass right then and there. I have a feeling he threw it out the first chance he got. I guess it's difficult to gift a self-conscious person an image of them, because they won't see the beauty in it.

wow...ungraateeefuullll
